Followed all the suggestions on emailing to phone but do not see how to get from email to placing post on forum. Any advice,thanks

If you have the image on your email, then simply drag it to your desktop and leave it there. You can, I suppose, send it to your phone as well, but that may not be necessary.

 

Then go here to this link to resize the image for USMF:

http://ben-major.com...usmf-resize.php

 

When asked, post the url or image on that ^ page in the proper place.

Then go to whichever thread and forum you want to post the picture in, as a new topic or a reply.

 

It will ask you (at the bottom of the page) to insert the NEW (resized) url/image link there.

 

Then simply post what you want to post.

 

We also have an extensive forum devoted just to dealing with images, here:

http://www.usmilitar...photos-imaging/

 

Oversimplified on my part perhaps, and leaving out a few details, but maybe this will help?

Good information but away from home and no access to my computer. In that case what do you do? thanks

Mortay idk what cell phone you have but here's the way I've always done it.

I use an IPhone. I take a photo with my phone.

I mail said photo to myself using the phones mail option. This also allows me to downsize or choice what size my file will be when I email it to me.

This way I'm able to pick a size that will fit on the forum.

Once mailed to myself I save it to my phone.

I then go to the forums website, using the desktop version on my phone not the mobile version.

I then upload the photo as I would normally. When I hit the upload button on the main site it directs me directly to my photos where I pick the photo that I mailed to myself and is 'sized' for the forum.

Hope this helps.

I emailed photos to my email. I acquired the desktop version of forum on phone. When I get to choose file none of selections available such as browse,photo library and take photo are of no help. What am I missing or what step still needs to be done. Thanks

Mort, you should long press on the photo in your email, that should populate a save image option. That will save it to your gallery or photos icon on your phone. Then you can upload it.
